Lost Hope
Chapter 5
Short Desmond POV...
I crashed their plane, it was all my fault was the reason they were trapped here, I was the reason Freya is here. Freya, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, someone who I never thought I would ever fall for, let alone get. She was beautiful, smart, funny, and the kind of girl I would pine over, then I remembered that kiss, the kiss was something I wanted to do since we were trapped in that tree, her lips were soft and melted so perfectly into mine. She kissed me back, I never thought it would happen, I was waiting for her to pull away and run but she didnt. Everything in me wanted to turn around and go back to her but I had to do this. For her.
I put the key into the failsafe device for the hatch, I was about to turn it but once last thought went through my mind and I had to say it.
"I love you Freya." and I turned the key and it ended.
Freya's POV...
I was sitting in my tent just staring at Desmond's empty one, part of her hoping he would walk back out of the jungle and go into it. Next thing she knew Claire was walking over with Aaron in her arms.
"Hey Freya you okay?" She asked me I looked up at her.
"I'm fine" I lied, she sat down next to me.
"I think I've known you long enough to reconize your lying face." She told me, I looked at her again.
"It's Desmond, he asked to speak to me earlier and after we went into the jungle he told me he had to do something important but before he did he needed to do something else. He kissed me." I looked down at the ground.
"Finally!" Claire exlaimed, "I have been waiting for you two to finally get together."
"Thats the thing though, I have this gut wrenching feeling that this was going to be the last time I see him." I told her, I felt it ever since he walked away in the jungle.
"You can't think like that, you'll see him again, and you two can kiss more." She said with a grin. I knew she was just trying to cheer me up but I knew what I felt.
Just then there was a bright light and a loud ringing sound, Claire held Aaron to her covering his ears as I covered mine, next thing we knew it was all over. Claire and I looked at each other and she stood up, as she did I saw something falling from the sky heading right for her.
"Claire look out!" I yelled running to her and moving her out of the way when a metal door landed in the ground.
I made sure her and Aaron were okay then walked over to the door, I looked at the side of it and felt my heart drop. On the side of the door was a word I reconized, quarantine.
I knew it, I knew that when Desmond kissed me it was him saying goodbye. I felt my legs give and I fell to my knees. I lost him, I lost the man I had started to love.
Desmonds POV...
I woke up not knowing where I was, last I remember I turned the fail safe key. I started to get my barings, I sat up and noticed I was on the island, how can I be on the island? I also noticed I was naked, I got up and started running. I stopped at one point and heard a noise like someone else was here and he heard a voice.
"Bear? Is that you? Who's there?" I heard Hurley.
"You alone, brother?" I asked him, trying to keep myself hidden.
"Uh, yeah." he responded
I come into view and Hurley looks at me. "Whoa! Dude! I'm not alone."
"Beach camp's right over there. Can you get me some clothes?" I asked him. I really didnt feel like walking back to camp like this.
"What happened to yours?" He asked me
"I woke up in the jungle like this." I dont remember anything after turning the key.
'So, like, the hatch blew off your underwear?" He asked and now I was starting to get a little frustrated. I just wanted my damn clothes, I walked closer to him.
"Fine, you want to discuss this in great detail right now?! Let's do it." I said to him.
"No, no, that's okay. I've got something in here. I see him reach into his backpack and pulls out a shirt, "How do you feel about tie-dye?" He asked handing me the shirt. I held it up to myself and realize it is much too large for me but what other chice did I have right now.
Freya's POV...
I was walking around the beach and as I was nearing camp I had seen Hurley walk into the, I was gonna ask him what was up but he disappeared before I could say anything figured he got asked to look for the bear that John and Charlie were looking for, so I shrugged it off and headed towards my tent to grab my clothes to go wash them. As I was heading over to the laundry area I saw Hurley come back out of the jungle and I dropped the basket when I saw who it was, I saw Desmond walking out with Hurley wearing one of Hurley's tie dyed shirts.
"Desmond." I said with a breath, he turned and looked at me and walked over.
"Freya." he said but I didnt know what to do I was pissed so the only thing I could think of was to slap him and I grabbed my basket walking away.
Later on as I was hanging up my wet clothes I see Desmond walk up to me, I ignored him and continued.
"Can I talk to you, in private?" He asked me and I looked to see that one of the other survivors was not to far from us doing her clothes as well.
"About what? About how you have something important to do, kiss me then leave and I dont see you for days thinking your dead after I saw the door to the hatch fall from the sky and almost kill Claire and Aaron if I hadnt pushed them out of the way? Oh wait we did that already." I said bitterly, I glanced to see the hurt on his face.
"Please Freya, just give me 10 minutes." He pleaded, I sighed and hung the last shirt on the line.
"You have 5 minutes, lets go." I said walking towards the jungle with Desmod following me.
We stopped at a part by some trees where we couldnt see the beach, "Five minutes, go" I told him facing him with my arms crossed.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that I left like that, John wanted to stop Eko from pushing the button after what they found out at the pearl station. Just then John tells me there's a log from every single time the button gets pushed and I asked him when your plane crashed, it was the same day that I had killed Kelvin, I barely made it back to the hatch and I saw the clock had turned to hyroglyphs and the place started to shake. I found out I was the one who crashed your plane, all because I was late at pressing the button, Joh broke the computer when I went to enter the numbers in so I went to the built in fail safe and turned the key, thats when the hatch blew up. I never thought I was going to have to use it let alone survive, but I did and now here I am standing in front of you." He told me and I couldnt believe what I was hearing, he walked up to me and put his hands on my shoulders, "I hated the how everything went down, I wanted to just see what happened if that button didnt get pushed and come right back here to you." he moved his hands to my face and I blinked away tears that started to form in my eyes, "I love you Freya, and thinking I would never see you again was worse then the detonation itself."
I looked at him shocked, did he just say what I thought he said? I felt my heart beat against my chest, I never, ever in my life thought I would find a man who would make me feel like this. I put my hand on his face.
"I'm sorry I acted like a bitch, I was hurt and thought I had lost you, and after you kissed me I wanted to see you again, do it again. Then after I was the hatch door I ran as fast as I could to where the hatch was and nothing was there, I fell to the ground crying because I lost you, I lost you and I never got to tell you." I leaned my head up and kissed him, "I love you too Desmond."
He smiled and pulled my face to his again and kissed me deeply and passionately, before I knew it I was backed against a tree and his hand was in my hair pulling my face as close as it could go to him. I gasped at the sudden act and put my hand in his hair as well and I felt his tongue run along my lips. I opened my mouth and allowed him access, I moaned as I felt them connect, which he seemed to like it too because he grabed my leg and lifted it up wrapping it around his waist. I felt him press the buldge in his pants against me and I gasped again, he gripped my thigh that was wrapped around him and move his mouth from mine and down my jaw to my neck kissing and nibbling at my skin and god it felt so good. I put my head back and I couldnt stop the moan that escaped from my mouth.
I put my hands on his chest grabbing at the material, Why does he have to wear his damn shirt like this? I thought as I ran my fingers down the exposed part of his chest, I heard him growl against my neck and tightened his grip in my hair. I was about to start unbuttoning his shirt more but we both stopped when we heard a twig snap from behind us. we broke apart and collected ourselves, I looked up to see that it was Charlie.
"Oh sorry I was just heading to get more water. Didnt mean to interupt." He said smirking at the two of us. Desmond was stilling facing me due to the situation he had going on down below, I looked at Charlie with a smile.
"It's ok Charlie, we were just leaving." I said trying to hide my embarassment and Desmond looked at me with a smirk. Charlie walked away and when he had disappeared Desmond wraped an arm around my waist and pulled me to him.
"Tonight I want you to meet me down the shore at my boat." He told me kissing me again.
I pulled back, "Wait I thought Sun, Jin and Sayid took your boat."
He laughed, "They did and it was almost taken but lucky they got it back. Meet me there around 6, I have a surprised planned."
I smiled and kissed him again not wanting to pull away but I reluctantly did, "Just so you know I hate surprises."
He put his forehead against mine, "You'll like this one." He said giving me one last kiss then grabbed my hand and led us back to the beach.
